Zhuge Jingming looked at Wen Xin and felt that she seemed more human now, no longer indifferent to life and death as she had been before.
She was finally willing to think about herself. If their Grandmaster in heaven had a spirit, he could rest easy now.
When Zhuge Jingming mentioned their master and senior brother, Wen Xin turned her head to look at him, “I heard you’ve brought the Green Physician Sect to prominence. Master would be even happier to know how well the school is doing today.”
Wen Xin had always wanted to do something for the Green Physician Sect, but although she was the master’s junior disciple, she had never been involved with the school’s affairs and didn’t have much emotional attachment to it.
Speaking of the Green Physician Sect, Zhuge Jingming became somewhat excited, “The school’s success today is entirely thanks to the opportunities you’ve given us, Little Uncle Master. Your abilities have not only propelled the Green Physician Sect but have also made traditional Chinese medicine quite popular.”
Wen Xin looked at Zhuge Jingming, the old smooth talker, with a light smile. It wasn’t that she found him insincere, but seeing such genuine emotion from him made her a bit uncomfortable.
“Alright, let’s not talk about that. Master asked me to take care of the Green Physician Sect before he passed. I haven’t done well these past few years, but thankfully, I’ve had a chance.”
Wen Xin hesitated for a moment while looking at Zhuge Jingming and raised an eyebrow, “Your clinic is too crowded, and I think it would be better to divide it into departments. Why not establish a hospital? How many people are still in the Green Physician Sect? Let’s see what scale we can achieve…”
When Zhuge Jingming heard Wen Xin suggesting building a hospital for the Green Physician Sect, he became even more excited, grasping her hand tightly,
“Little Uncle Master, on behalf of the Green Physician Sect, I thank you!”
Zhuge Jingming shared with Wen Xin the current state of the Green Physician Sect, and she mulled over it. She thought that Nan Xu would be the most suitable person to handle the hospital project.
“Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to come and discuss the hospital matter with you in depth. I’ll provide the funding. You can make any requests you have, including picking the location.”
“Little Uncle Master… I… I don’t know what to say at this moment. I will cooperate with you fully to help you recover.”
Zhuge Jingming wasn’t young anymore, and he didn’t know how much longer he could take care of the Green Physician Sect. But with Wen Xin’s help, he believed that the school would not only survive but thrive even more.
After talking with Zhuge Jingming, Wen Xin wasn’t in a hurry to leave. She let Zhuge Jingming go back to treating his waiting patients and walked into the pharmacy to check out his equipment and pick up some Chinese herbs for Liang Luoyu, to properly treat his brain.
By the time Wen Xin finished her tasks and returned home, it was about eight o’clock. Zhuge Jingming’s wife knew Wen Xin had visited the clinic and had prepared a lavish feast, insisting Wen Xin eat before leaving.
As she was about to leave, Madame Zhuge made a special effort to prepare a portion of ribs and chicken soup for Mu Chengxi, mentioning that since Wen Xin had a big meal, she shouldn’t forget that Mu Chengxi at home hadn’t eaten yet.
When Wen Xin arrived home and entered, she saw a man and a cat sitting harmoniously on the sofa. Mu Chengxi was working on official business, and Huahua was fast asleep on the other end of the sofa.
Both the man and the cat looked up when they heard Wen Xin. Mu Chengxi put down his tablet, and Huahua had already jumped off the sofa and ran over to Wen Xin, who was changing her shoes.
Mu Chengxi watched the interaction between Wen Xin and the cat in the entryway, feeling a softness in his heart at the beautiful scene.
After changing her shoes and picking up Huahua, Wen Xin walked over to Mu Chengxi, lowered her head to meet his eyes, leaned forward, and kissed his lips.
It was rare for Wen Xin to take the initiative. Mu Chengxi, who had waited for her all day, naturally wouldn’t let a simple kiss suffice. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Wen Xin didn’t resist, letting Huahua go and embracing Mu Chengxi, both tumbling onto the sofa together.
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin, breathing heavily, and tenderly kissed her blushing lips. The kiss grew passionate as they both got carried away.
Wen Xin wrapped her arms around Mu Chengxi’s neck, feeling his heavy breaths against her neck, the warmth almost scorching her.
After about five or six minutes, Mu Chengxi released Wen Xin, who sat on the sofa with a faint smile, her eyes misty with emotion. Wen Xin couldn’t deny that she felt moved, just like Mu Chengxi.
“Madame Zhuge sent dinner for you. See if you need to warm it up. It tastes pretty good; I think you’ll like it.”
Wen Xin lounged lazily on the sofa, one leg propped up on it, her arm resting on her knee, tilting her head to look at Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi’s emotions seemed to stabilize as well. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, “I feel like I can’t wait any longer. I’m about to burst with this anticipation.”
Hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin’s smile brightened. She raised an eyebrow suggestively at him, “Maybe we can try a different approach…”
That suggestion made Mu Chengxi lose all control. He couldn’t care less about dinner at that point. He lifted Wen Xin from the sofa and headed straight to the upstairs bedroom.
An hour later, Mu Chengxi leaned against the bathroom doorframe, watching Wen Xin, who stood nonchalantly by the sink washing her hands, his gaze filled with tenderness.
Mu Chengxi approached Wen Xin from behind, embracing her and holding her hands in his.
Wen Xin, slightly annoyed, pulled her hands free from Mu Chengxi’s grasp, her demeanor weary, “I advise you not to provoke me, or I might end up hitting you!”
Wen Xin appeared calm on the surface but was internally restless. She didn’t know why she had agreed to help him in such a manner; it seemed somewhat out of control.
Mu Chengxi didn’t let go of Wen Xin, resting his chin on her shoulder and nuzzling her cheek, about to speak when Wen Xin elbowed him harshly.
“Um…” Mu Chengxi didn’t expect Wen Xin to strike so hard, and he couldn’t help but groan in pain.
Wen Xin grabbed a washcloth, dried her hands, and nonchalantly walked out of the bathroom without a backward glance at the man behind her.
Wen Xin, feeling agitated by the lingering scent in the clean bedroom, walked to the window and opened it. The fresh air helped calm her restlessness.
She stood by the window, running her fingers through her hair, then turned and walked out of the bedroom, heading downstairs..
